Adored this, and it centers Jasinska as one to watch. The dynamic between Marynka, Zosia, and Beata was delightful, and the parallel between Marynka/Zosia and Jozef/Kajetan added extra depth to all involved. On a personal note, I loved seeing a Polish-centered Slav fantasy that also acknowledged the diversity of Poland at the time - Selim's Muslim representation was a pleasant surprise, even if his role was slight.
